Macdonald* Legal Education In China Today 1. Introduction Two developmerits in China since the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1976 are of particular interest to the legal profession in Canada: the revival of legal education and the reform of the legal system. Legal education in China today has entered its most exciting period since the founding of the People's Republic in 1949. During the academic year 1980-81, China's four institutes of political science and law, and law faculties at eight universities and colleges, enrolled over 2,000 new students in four more law institutes and faculties than in 1965, the year before the Cultural Revolution. The present enrollment in law institutes and faculties is still lagging behind the best years of the post 1949 period; however, after three years' hard work, education in law, which was suspended during the Cultural Revolution, is now being steadily developed. A conference in Beijing in 1979 led to the establishment of an eight-year National Programme for the Study of Law, covering over one hundred items, including the theory of jurisprudence, constitution, civil code, criminal code, legal procedure, economic law, international law, and the history of the legal system. The conference decided to set up institutes of research in the history of China's legal system, in international law, and other subjects. It also worked out a list of monographs, papers, textbooks, popular readers, reference materials, and dictionaries of legal terms to be completed in the eight-year period. Convened by the Institute of Law of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, discussions were held with 129 professors, scholars, experts and jurists from forty-six units, including colleges and departments of political science and law, research institutes, and political and judicial departments in different parts of the country. Their meetings focussed on strengthening the study of international law, maritime law, civil and 1R. St.J. Macdonald, Q.C., Professor of Law, Dalhousie University.

They were the first lectures since 1949 presented in Beijing by a western international lawyer. 314 The Dalhousie Law Journal penal codes, legal procedure, and the restoration of the lawyer system. I Beijing University is a place of special importance in the domain of legal education. It is one of the oldest and most renowned universities in China: its staff includes many prominent scholars; its students are among the most talented young people in the country today; its library facilities are the best of any of China's post secondary institutions; and its location in the capital, as part of a complex of more than sixty specialized academies, institutes, research centers, and universities, makes it something of the darling of the bureaucrats and policy-makers. Beijing University plays a key role in the current effort to upgrade legal education in China and to improve the socialist legal system within the context of the "four 2 modernizations" . In the field of law reform, China is now facing a new concern with formal legality, the introduction of legal codes, the relationship of the Party to the legal system, the professionalization of legal work, and obedience to law itself. There is new emphasis on the technicality of law and administration, on the relation between form and content in law, on technical knowledge and scientific study, in short, on law as a means of "regularizing social life, steering society, and safeguarding production and development". 3 The country's desire to expand trade is inducing it to create a legal framework that will offer reassurance to potential foreign parties. A joint venture law of 1979 laid out principles applicable to such 1. With the authorization of the Ministry of Education, law faculties have been or soon will be established in Anhui University, Shamen University, Zhongshan University, Wuhan University, Nanjing University, and Yunnan University. Hangzhou University has also been authorized to set up a law department and interest has been expressed in Fujian and Guangdang Universities. Until 1979 there were eleven law faculties in which a law specialty could be studied, including four faculties which existed before the Cultural Revolution: Guangming Daily, April 22, 1980, page 1 2. This slogan refers to a ten year programme of development in industry, agriculture, defence, science and technology first announced at the Fourth National People's Congress in 1975. The goal of the programme is to make China a fully modem socialist state by the year 2000. 3. For this phrase and for much of the information in the text above I have relied heavily on the following remarkable articles by Alice Erh-Soon Tay, Professor of Jurisprudence in Sydney University: "Law in Communist China" (1969-71), 6 Sydney Law Review 153, 335;" "Smash Permanent Rules": China as a Model for the Future" (1976), 7 Sydney Law Review 400; "Marxism-Leninism and the Heritability of Law" (mimeographed), 1980. Hereafter I shall refer to these essential studies as Tay, followed by the volume and page number. Legal Education in China Today 315 arrangements and the government is working on tax, property, commercial and other laws to develop this sector. China has thus become the second communist nation after Yugoslavia to permit large scale joint venture foreign investment. Of course the authorities continue to insist on the socialist path, the dictatorship of the proletariat, rule by the Communist Patty, and the importance of Marxist-Leninist-Mao Zedong thought. Within this context, the current debate on such questions as continuity in law, the relationship between uniform, codified laws and local, customary laws, indeed the very scope and content of a modem socialist legal system, raises questions of the utmost fascination for Western lawyers. In terms of numbers of people affected, and the interplay of historical, cultural, linguistic, economic, and political elements involved, the country's effort to modernize its (already) extraordinarily complicated legal system is without parallel in modem history. 4 In this commentary, an effort will be made to sketch a few of the broad trends in legal education in China, with special reference to Beijing University, and to outline briefly the development of the present commitment to improve the nation's legal system. As with most comments on China, which has an extremely long legal tradition, it is prudent to begin with a reminder that the complexity of events and the rapidity of change make these assessments very tentative indeed. II. The FirstFifty Years: 1899-1949 Modem legal education, as understood in the West, did not start in China until the end of the nineteenth century. One of the first of the private institutions to teach law was the Pei-yang University at Tientsin, where law was placed on the curriculum in 1895 and a law department established in 1905. By 1916, the department, which taught in English, French and German, had been built up to the standards of a modem law school, but it was closed in 1918 so that its forces could be joined with those of the law school at Peking. In 1915, a law department that became famous as "The Comparative Law School of China" was established in Shanghai as the law school of Soochow University. This school made an outstanding 4. For general background, see C. T. Hu, China: Its People, Its Society, Its Culture (H.R.A.F. Press (Yale U.P.), 1968); Wolfgang Franke, A Century of Chinese Revolution 1851-1949 (Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1970) 316 The Dalhousie Law Journal contribution until it was forced to close at the time of the second Japanese invasion of Shanghai in 1937.5 At the official level, it was the internal unrest symbolized by the Tai-ping rebellion of 1850-64, the humiliations imposed on China by foreigners, the defeat in the Sino-Japanese war of 1895, and the declared readiness of certain European powers to end extra- territorial privileges once China altered her legal system, that convinced the authorities of the need for reform, including educational reform, in general, and modernization of the law in particular. The Ching Dynasty was forced to make concessions, one of which was the establishment of the University of the Capital City in Peking in 1898. The object of the university was to promote the development of modern science and culture. Situated in three buildings in the center of the city, the university got off to a rocky start in January 1899. A change in political climate had reduced enthusiasm for Western-style education, with the result that only about one hundred students showed up for registration. A little more than a year later, the Boxer rebellion broke out: the students were obliged to run for their lives and the book collections went up in flames when the buildings were put to the torch. The institution reopened in 1902, following the defeat of the Boxers.

History and archaeology https://doi.org/10.29013/EJHSS-20-2-26-35 YiFei Zhang, Student, The Affiliated High School of Peking University E-mail: [email protected] STIMULATING THE MODERNIZATION OF CHINA’S LEGISLATIONS: AN ESSAY ON A LEGACY OF EUROPEAN COLONIALISM Abstract. Although it is generally said that the history of European colonialism in China is a his- tory of shame and tears that the country would rather forget, I would argue that colonialism did not serve only as a detriment to China. Through various channels, such as the importation of opium and the wars fought between China and colonizers, European colonialism triggered great changes in China’s governance and the tra- ditional Chinese Legal System. The changes resulted in a progressive modification of legislations, improving existing defects in the original legal system, guiding legislations into systematization, and gradually helping them to adapt into the modern society. Therefore, I would argue that European colonialism stimulated the modernization of China’s legislations. Such a semi-autonomous, unique process of modernization has left many enduring influences on China’s society even until today.

Publication Date 2018 DOI 10.5070/P8352039070 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Liu Song’s Theory of Adjudication CHINESE LEGAL THOUGHT IN THE HAN-TANG TRANSITION: Liu Song’s (d. 300) Theory of Adjudication Norman P. Ho* This article explores and analyzes the fourth century Chinese legal official and legal scholar Liu Song’s (d. 300) theory of adjudication through a full translation into English (the first translation of its kind) of his famous “Memorial on Adjudication,” which urged judicial and legal reforms during the reign of Emperor Hui (r. 290–306) of the Western Jin dynasty (265–316). This article argues that Liu believed that written law should reign supreme over other factors (e.g., societal needs, public opin- ion) in adjudicating cases. He was also one of the first major Chinese legal thinkers to explicitly set forth what we would today call the “legality prin- ciple.” But while Liu’s theory of adjudication was centered on written law, it was also motivated by a desire to control the power and discretion of judicial officials and preserve the authority of the emperor. Liu’s theory of adjudication is significant in the history of Chinese legal thought as it runs counter to the so-called “qing-li-fa” (QLF) theory of adjudication, which has strongly influenced contemporary theoretical accounts and descriptions of traditional Chinese law as a whole.

This is due to three orientalist assumptions, namely: nihilism (lawlessness); instrumentalism (law as a tool for political control without rule of law qualities); and assimilationism (no distinctive legal systems). These assumptions fail to capture the complexity of law in China and Vietnam and fail to place it in a better positon in comparative law. This Article argues that the exploration of the law of China and Vietnam can substantively enrich comparative law scholarship, for the following reasons: first, there are multiple layers of law throughout their legal history, namely chthonic law, Confucian law, civil law, socialist law, and global law; second, the two states have accommodated some forms of the rule of law as a strategic response to the need to consolidate the legitimacy of the socialist regimes; and third, there are distinctive legal systems in these countries, namely the Confucian legal system and the socialist legal system, which are separate from other traditional legal systems (Islamic law, Hindu law, and Buddhist law) and other modern legal systems (civil law and common law).
